LoginException: Missing users.properties file

[alvar_hanso]

Where do I need to place my users.propeties file? Because JBoss says:

"LoginException: Missing users.properties file"

I configured it like this and expected they must be in the same directory as standalone.xml is:

<module-option name="usersProperties" value="abx-tax-users.properties"/>

If I use a path like "D:/somewhere/abx-tax-users.properties" it works. But I want to use a relative path like in all the examples I have seen about this.

Any idea?

You can use relative paths. For example "../standalone/configuration/atx-tax-users.properties" if you are starting AS7 from the $JBOSS_HOME/bin directory.

Alternatively you can include the properties file in the WEB-INF/classes folder of your web application. It would then be included in the classpath so you can set the option to "atx-tax-users.properties".

Ideally, you should use the properties files for simple setup such as testing etc.  Do not use it in production.  Use DB/LDAP login modules.

Ideally, you should place the properties files in the classpath of the deploying application.  For web, simplest would be WEB-INF/classes.
